“Middle America seems to have hit it’s quota for listening to movie stars get political.” Kubrick

Could Hollywood’s intolerance for one half of its audience be a factor?

From Ricky Gervais:

“If you do win an award tonight, don’t use the platform to make a political speech, You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything, you know nothing about the real world. Most of you spend less time in school than Greta Thunberg. So if you win, come up, accept your award, thank your agent, and your god, and get the fuck off.”

Then Brad Pitt sets the tone with his idiot comment about Bolton. Never hire a speech writer again, ok Brad?

Take a look at the “winners”. If that isn’t political then nothing is.

I’m hoping this downward trend is your usual temporary historical up and down….

Isn’t imdb’s mean membership age still 14?

No offence to teens and preteens of course….

Better than this master work being ignored…

The good thing is that it’s up to her. Good or bad, she must be getting offers since Judy came out and the shock of “wait, what? she’s winning an Oscar too?” happened. My guess is that she’s firmly in control and will do whatever she wants whenever she wants. And that along with this Oscar win which we never would’ve imagined less than a year ago, is fucking cool.

Even something as horrible as What/If couldn’t fuck with her.

Everything you’ve said. Renee is helming her own yacht .

Lol! There is a grain of truth to what you’re saying. History making is good for ratings, apparently.

But I disagree about Parasite being over rated or undeserving. It’s an exceptionally unforgettable work.

There’s a part of me that doesn’t want to “rub it in”. It’s enough that Adam (bless his ass) lost, and which became swiftly apparent .
Lol. I suppose his fans made it interesting.

Thatcher, Prime Minister of GoldDerby wrote:

Darlings, this ceremony was tedious and boring. Paramess’ wins were certainly an upset. Dunkirk 2 looked like a safe bet, especially when Ambitious Mendes and the film itself swept everything except for the Critics’ Choice for BP and the SAG. I absolutely loathe their progressivist hipocrisy. Voters think voting for a Korean film will totally erase their racism and sexism. I have to laugh. The Academy members really have some disgusting behaviour.

The acting winners were the same ones Thatcher has been predicting. Joke won just like your Prime Minister has been telling you since the Venice Film Festival. You Nose stans were really blind. Banderas deserved to win the award hands down. But hey, let’s reward the same role that Dead Ledger did much better just because Joke is an ecologist! So, so lame.

Wrinkled won for a decent performance, but in a fair world, her performance wouldn’t have been enough to win a second Oscar, especially when she’s one of the most undeserving Supporting Actress winners of all time. Divorcing was ROBBED.

Since we’re talking about the worst Supporting Actress winners of all time, Shouty just came to my mind. What a boring, disgusting, basic, generic and lazy choice by the Academy (those adjectives could be applied to Shouty’s performance itself). Disgusting, disgusting and disgusting. Little Pugh or Barbie Robbie were far more deserving than that autopilot Cheap Renata Klein. Disappointing, dear citizens.

And well, that Unfunny Waititi win? Are we freaking SERIOUS? In what world Jojo Rubbish’s screenplay is better than The Irishman or Little Women? EMBARRASSING.

Toy Story 4 was one of the few deserving choices tonight. One of the most underrated movies of the year winning what it deserved. It should have been nominated in Best Picture. Go girl! Thatcher is proud.

My dear Pain and Glory was SNUBBED and Thatcher CAN’T forgive that atrocity. That movie was the one which deserved to be the first international film to win Best Picture. WE DEMAND JUSTICE! LONG LIVE PAIN AND GLORY!

Well, summing it up, it was just another night of disgusting, fake progressivism and hypocrite Hollywood at its worst. Thatcher is just disgusted. Thatcher cannot.

Thatcher hopes all of you had a great season! Even though most of you hate me with your SJW hearts, your Prime Minister has to tell you she really loved to read all of your posts one year more.

You will be missed, dear citizens! See you next Oscar season!

Bye for Now! So…you’re gonna miss us? Lol. See ya tomo.

I wouldn’t guess so. I feel like a sequel to Joker wouldn’t do anywhere near as well as the first one. Think how A New Hope did compared to Empire Strikes Back.

The odds aren’t good. But whoa; experience and timing can amount to a lot. Like being a serious BP/BD contender.
I’m dreaming I think…

Theý gave honorary or special awards to foreign language films from 1947 to 56 when it officially became a category.
The first official winner was La Strada.

Halle Berry. Lone nonwhite actress to win the lead category. These historical things don’t easily repeat. Seasons are seasons for a reason. They’re so unique and at the mercy of what has muscle and can gain consensus.

And normally I’d have strong reservations as well. At the beginning of the season I was highly skeptical they’d embrace a Asian film in an Asian language of any kind. I was so wrong! Something happened that’s never happened. Ever.
I’m optimistic that global inclusion is on the horizon.

Your extreme bias against an international film winning (when this literally the only time it’s ever happened) is extremely unsettling. If you didn’t like Parasite (which would already be questionable as it’s a masterpiece), then I could accept your opinion. But you’re upset solely because something won that’s not American. Your arguments against the film have absolutely nothing to do with quality or prestige, but are solely based on it being an international film. There’s something deeply wrong and ignorant with that line of thinking.

Parasite is absolutely brilliant in every way, and while I would’ve slightly preferred Marriage Story or Jojo Rabbit, I’m still overjoyed by Parasite’s richly deserved success. South Korea had never won an Oscar before. Now a film has come out of there that won four. That’s amazing. Bong Joon-ho is a genius, and I highly look forward to what he does next, even though I highly doubt that it can ever top the absolutely genius work he did in Parasite.

I also want to say, Song Kang-ho (and to a lesser extent Cho Yeo-jeong) being snubbed was already bad. But the fact that Parasite did so well makes it way worse now.

Paul hasn’t seen Parasite and may never.

I really cried a bit when Bong Joon Ho and Parasite won.

As I said,I really wanted them to win more so recently and they did.

Biggest shocker was Director and Bong Joon Ho deserved it.
He was the shocker,I was delighted and I was so happy to see it.

Joaquin Phoenix won his Oscar also finally.

Best Oscars Ever.

Seems as if the consensus is Director win is more surprising than the Picture win.
For me it’s the BP win. Wish I had gone full out with my heart because I split the wins with 1917 winning BP.In hindsight I wasn’t paying enough attention to the inertia.

I have mixed feelings.
If the Academy were more inclusive there wouldn’t be a need for this category. It’s a global community now more than ever.
On the other hand, stellar worthy films in a foreign language would be overlooked every year.
I feel this category could morph into one that isn’t needed any more.

Thank you Parasite.
